Beautiful hybrid, one of my favs! Here's a few of mine (I didn't breed these btw - PD made the hybrid seed that I grew).. This one I gave to a friend who is growing out in desert conditions: And here's the ones I kept for myself - this is an old pic - they are currently in boarding school at Zelly's place and are like 3-4x bigger than in this pic:

Stellaria holostea, Greater stitchwort pollen.

It's a nice cactus for sure Here's mine Getafix

Here's 5 of 7 that I have on the go. I got experimental with a couple, after they didn't germ so I removed the seed coat with my finger nail, it was quite easy after being damp for a few weeks. It just slipped off lol Put back in the tube they popped up not long after that. The others I left and came up. Pretty tuff lil dude so far.

I fertilized most plants today, and stared at brugs some more.

Been back into delosperma again so here Is my mother D. bosseranum and some D. cooperii hanging baskets I made to hang up And made this for my missos office desk. She loves all the indoor plant things I randomly make so I feel very lucky

g'day mate

Hi Pimento, are any of these trich cuts still available? If so I'd be interested. I'm a new member so I'm unsure if I can pm you yet. Thanks

Huarazensis has no or if at all only very fine, nearly invisible spines while Huanucoensis usually has some. The Distance between the areoles on Huarazensis should be smaller than on Huanucoensis. The areoles on Huarazensis are more oval/quadrangular while the ones on Huanucoensis are more rounded. The overall shape of Huanucoensis is more rounded, while Huarazensis is straighter. Huanucoensis has very broad ribs and tends to have fewer ribs. But we only know very few types from Huaraz and there definitely are more than what we currently know so take that with a grain of salt. Besides, rib count can vary greatly and while most of the Huarazensis I know ended up having 6-7 ribs, it´s definitely possible to come across Huanus with a similar rib count. This is not a real science and every plant can be different. Compare those two pics from misplant´s website and you see the differences. This first pic shows the Huanucoensis. And now the Huarazensis.

Dragon Fruit stock seems to promote more flowering in most scions and they are more water tolerant than other stocks. Still a little too early to call it a WIN but here is an aztekium ritteri degraft that is rooting :D The center one looks to be rooting Here are the possible roots; Not the old stock rerooting from the center (pereskiopsis) This is after 3-4 months Most of my previous attempts just ends up with the aztekium drying out. Just a few more grafts from seed Aztekium ritteri crest Aztekium ritteri with hidden pereskiopsis stock (rerooted after cutting back; not sure if it will rot or not)

numbers 50 - 26 were sent today. OS recipients please allow 7- 10 days for them to get there. Aus, 1-4 days Icecube I think I need your addy 25 to whatever number it gets down to next sunday will be sent on the monday. Next number is 23

When spines are growing they are very similar to the colour of the pic EG posted. Be cool if it is a stetsonia.... Time will tell I guess. My other Cuzco seedlings look different I.e. the spines are more chaotic than this one, this has nice ordered consistent spine pattern.. The single long spine reminds me of some kk trichs I havr like 2150, 2148. Thanks for the input dudes!

I'm sticking with it being T. cuzcoensis. ~Michael~

And for fancypants...

All 40' containers. A courtyard/dining area and a yard for growing food. Courtyard dimensions are 8.3m x 12.2m approx (each) Need to add another container or 2 for extra space/beds? Zombie bunker/future plan maybe... Saturday night boredom lol

some pics of the fruit, this was the first and by far the biggest fruit on the scop. and the last pic is of another fruit.

scop fruit just starting to pop

and another, fields pach x pc

Yowie X scopulicola fruit - seems less hairy than the Yowie X Psycho0 was. It busted very wide open too.

another fruit on the scop.

I now have a Psycho0 X Yowie fruit ripe and ready to have it's seed sorted too. It split open a couple of days ago. Pic showing it next to the Yowie X Psycho0 fruit from post #26 to show how much bigger it is. (It's fucking huge!) My guess is it might have something to do with the Psycho0 only having one single flower for the year and one fruit to worry about whereas they Yowie had literally over 30 flowers over this summer so I assume it was putting more energy into those than this plant's single fruit.
